One idea that might be worth looking into is loading the data into an
array at compile time using EVAL-WHEN.  You can find the texture
relative to the source file by using *COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME* (perhaps
falling back to *LOAD-PATHNAME* when loading the source).

This makes it easy to distribute textures as normal files but also
doesn't require the texture file when delivering an executable.
